About this study

Official title: The Impact of Intraoperative Goal-directed Fluid Therapy on Complications After Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Optimal fluid balance is critical to minimize anastomotic edema in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. This study examined the effects of decreased fluid administration on rates of postoperative pancreatic leak and delayed gastric emptying.

Read the detailed description

Retrospective study of 10564 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy at a single institution from January, 2015 through July, 2016. Stroke volume variation (SVV) was tracked and titrated during the procedure.

All patients were seen preoperatively in the department clinic setting, and indications for pancreaticoduodenectomy were for pancreatic adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumors, chronic pancreatitis, non-adeno malignancy, and other benign. benign and malignant disease.

Patients were excluded if they had any of the following during surgery: venous resection and reconstructive involving the portal venous system; estimated blood loss exceeding two liters; high dose steroid administration; use of irreversible electroporation for margin enhancement; lack of SVV equipment or inconsistent SVV recordings; use of the robotic surgical system.

Primary outcomes measures were recorded for each patient were: pancreatic leak and delayed gastric emptying. Pancreatic leak was defined according to the international study group for pancreatic fistulas: "an external fistula with a drain output of any measurable volume after postoperative day three with an amylase level greater than three times the upper limit of the normal serum value." Delayed gastric emptying was defined clinically as persistent postoperative emesis requiring nasogastric tube placement, prokinetic agents, or hospital readmission for endoscopic gastrostomy placement.

A comparative analysis of postoperative complications was performed between patients with a median SVV < 12 during the extirpative and reconstructive phases of the procedure compared with patients with an SVV > 12. The investigators chose an SVV value of greater than 12 to represent a "dry" state because previous studies have shown that this value represents decreased fluid administration.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients with SVV < 12Patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy with an intraoperative stroke volume variation of less than 12.
Patients with SVV > or = 12Patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy with an intraoperative stroke volume variation of greater than or equal to 12.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Postoperative complications (Pancreatic leak and delayed gastric emptying)

    Number of patients with postoperative pancreatic leak and postoperative delayed gastric emptying. Stroke volume is calculated using measurements of ventricle volumes from an echocardiogram and subtracting the volume of the blood in the ventricle at the end of a beat (called end-systolic volume) from the volume of blood just prior to the beat (called end-diastolic volume).

    Measured: 30 days postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreaticoduodenectomy and Stroke Volume Variation, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Postoperative complications (Pancreatic leak and delayed gastric emptying) (time frame: 30 days postoperatively). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Mar 2023.
